MANHATTAN, NEW YORK –

Attending New York Fashion Week is every fashion lover’s dream. Leo Li, an eighteen year-old college student, found himself in the midst of it all, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with stars at several New York Fashion Week shows.

Fashion week, a series of stunning shows displayed in unique fashion, was created to present the world’s best designers and their creations. Today, this is accomplished through a series of unforgettable presentations of their best projects. Fashion champions from each corner of the world visit NYC to enjoy the well-known fashion week atmosphere, one praised for its intriguing innovations, fantastic performances, and most of all, stylish people.

Leo Li is one of those people, always sharing with those watching him something new.

Originally from XinJiang, China, the charming influencer left for the states when he was fourteen and attended high school in Jersey Shore. He now speaks Chinese and English. A long-standing passion for color and style lent him a large fascination with the unique air of designer wear.

Li particularly favors involving in the industry by styling for models and friends, his social media platforms moving fashion followers with interesting photos of friends and famous alike. Today, the Manhattan, NYC-based social media leader and young model stylist has large ideas to further enter into the business of fashion, particularly as it relates to the runway.

And he’s not wasting any time, grateful to find himself right at the center of it all. 

Li was captured by Getty images on the Rooftop Terrace of Spring Studios in Tribeca. The occasion, Glam Slam: Session 3, an IMG models and Spring Studios event, was produced by FOCUS. It occurred to praise two of New York’s most loved events, The US Open Tennis Championships and New York Fashion Week.

Li was invited to view a panel hosted, during which fashion figure Cynthia Rowley, Style of Sports Founder Claudia Lebenthal, and professional tennis player Alexandra Stevenson discussed the interaction of sport and style in pop culture, focusing on tennis legends and fashion.

During the week, Li also met some of the world’s biggest trailblazers and attended several shows, including Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Fendi, and Laquan Smith.

Li wore a Rolex & Supreme shirt to the Tom Ford runway show, where he witnessed two of his favorite supermodels tread the runway in sparkles. Li saw the singer of Crazy for You as she walked the stage in black satin, and later, a finale that featured lots of black leather, lingerie, and silk tracksuits. He posted videos of the night on his social media, next to snapshots of him and the two models.

Li is now contributing his ideas to the fashion world, deeply involved in fashion styling and photography, and intends to do some modeling work in the near future. A social media star with bright ideas, Li desires to one day express his excitement over fashion in every-day life through a feature of his own, personal style on the magazine covers of Vogue and Forbes.

“I think success is being able to do what you love and make a joyful living off of it” Li maintains.

The young influencer has learned that entrepreneurship is about being willing to take huge risks and work hard to make money doing what you love. Li holds that, in order to accomplish one’s goals, one must have a positive demeanor and be willing to open up to new experiences and people.

Li attended New York Fashion Week in September of 2022. You can follow Li on Instagram @leojeany, TikTok @leojeany, Facebook @leojeany, and Twitter @leojeany
